Achieving Soft Real-time Guarantees for Interactive Applications in Wireless Mesh Networks
(University of Waterloo, 2008-01-25)The use of 802.11-based multi-hop wireless mesh networks for Internet access is extensive and growing. The primary advantages of this approach are ease of deployment and lower cost. However, these networks are designed for ... -
Centralized Rate Allocation and Control in 802.11-based Wireless Mesh Networks
(University of Waterloo, 2010-01-20)Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) built with commodity 802.11 radios are a cost-effective means of providing last mile broadband Internet access. Their multihop architecture allows for rapid deployment and organic growth of ... -
The Efficacy of Source Rate Control in Achieving Fairness in Wireless Mesh Networks
(University of Waterloo, 2007-05-18)The use of 802.11-based wireless mesh networks (WMNs) as an alternative network backbone technology is growing rapidly. The primary advantages of this approach are ease of deployment and lower cost. However, such networks ... -
Experimental Performance Evaluation of Bit-Rate Selection Algorithms in Multi-Vehicular Networks
(University of Waterloo, 2011-01-24)IEEE 802.11 PHY supports multiple transmission rates according to multiple different modulations and coding schemes. Each WiFi station selects its own transmission rate according to its own algorithm; in particular, the ... -
Multi-interface Multi-channel wireless mesh networks
(University of Waterloo, 2004)In this thesis we propose a multi-channel wireless network based on nodes that use multiple 802. 11 radio interfaces. The proposed system is singular, as it does not require new hardware or a new MAC, but instead ... -
Vertical Handoff between 802.11 and 802.16 Wireless Access Networks
(University of Waterloo, 2008-05-22)Heterogeneous wireless networks will be dominant in the next-generation wireless networks with the integration of various wireless access networks. Wireless mesh networks will become to a key technology as an economically ...
